i-PI path integral interface examples
2
=====================================
4
This folder contains a couple of examples to run LAMMPS as a client,
5
exchanging information on the atomic configurations, energy and forces
6
with the i-PI Python interface
7
[http://epfl-cosmo.github.io/gle4md/index.html?page=ipi]. These
8
examples require a working copy of i-PI and compiling LAMMPS in a UNIX
9
environment. Note that a copy of i-PI is provided with LAMMPS, in the
12
Note that the i-PI examples listed here are designed for the public V1.0
13
version of i-PI. Refer to the LAMMPS examples distributed with i-PI if you
14
are using a development version.

Path integral simulation of graphene
17
------------------------------------
19
The example in this folder uses the external wrapper i-PI to perform
20
path integral molecular dynamics simulation of a graphene sheet, using
21
LAMMPS as the force back-end. The output is generated by i-PI. Please
22
refer to its documentation for an explanation of the input parameters
23
and the format of the output.
28
You should have a relatively recent (>=2.5) version of Python and Numpy,
29
and the public version of i-PI. You can then run i-PI by executing
32
$PATHTOIPI/i-pi i-pi_input.xml
35
In a separate terminal, then, you should run LAMMPS compiled to provide
36
fix_ipi functionalities.
42
You can run multiple instances of LAMMPS if you want to exploit the
43
parallelism over the path integral beads.
